Hanoi authorities had a meeting with representatives
from central-level and Hanoi news agencies on June 17 on the occasion of the 92th
anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 – 2017).

Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Council Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc acknowledged
the press’ role in capturing Hanoi’s growth progress and building the image of
a dynamic capital city.

She expected the news agencies to continue covering the local political and
socio-economic affairs as well as reflecting the voice of the city’s residents,
organisations and businesses, which could be conducive to its policy making and
management.

Participating journalists took note of the city’s prompt disclosure of pressing
issues, but urged local authorities to be more open to the public.

Previously, as the press day came closer, leaders from the municipal Party
Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee visited and congratulated journalists
at the Vietnam News Agency, the Radio Voice of Vietnam, and People’s Army Newspaper,
among others.-VNA
